Possum, now 16, wouldn't eat carrots as a child so I started making chocolate carrot cake........ Then I realised the mixture was enough to make avbout 30 buns, just right for her morning snack. She's very good on other veggie snow but still not keen on cooked carrots. Flatly refuses to eat apples but I can't see those working in a chocolate cake somehow.
Years ago we took in a work colleague for a few weeks whilst he moved form old apartment to new house. He was a meat and two veg that had to be spuds, peas or carrots. I ended up getting very frustrated and made him shepherd's pie one night - vegetarian version. He had second helpings. Fooled him good and proper.
